Rather than try in copytree and try again in copy2, why not add this to
the root of the issue - copystat. Something like this?


def copystat(src, dst, ignore_permission_err=False):
    """Copy all stat info (mode bits, atime and mtime) from src to dst"""
    st = os.stat(src)
    mode = stat.S_IMODE(st.st_mode)
    try:
        if hasattr(os, 'utime'):
            os.utime(dst, (st.st_atime, st.st_mtime))
        if hasattr(os, 'chmod'):
            os.chmod(dst, mode)
    except OSError, err:
        if WindowsError is not None and isinstance(err, WindowsError):
            pass
        elif ignore_permissions_err and err.errno == errno.EPERM:
            pass
        else:
            raise
